Hey guys!
As you can see..
I've got The Moment I Knew below this post.
Yay, we get to sing more depressing songs about people who don't show up.
But anyway,
I went for my last vaccination shot this morning.
I got it because I got bitten by a dog..
Remember?
Yeah..
And apparently, there is a return date.
Like er.. So my next date with the doc will be in 10 years.
It's just a bit wacky to come back [to Brazil] when I'm 31 just for a vaccination shot.
But I'm sure I can ask my local doc or something.
Anyway,
I'm feeling under the weather because of the shot,
as you can tell from the weird way I'm sloshing about without making any sense,
so I will see you people next week.. Ok.
*sloshes around some more*
The Moment I Knew [Capo 5]
By Taylor Swift
Editor’s note: There are three choruses, differences are in bold.
G D Asus D A //
Verse 1
G
You should've been there,
D
Should've burst through the door,
A D
With that 'baby I'm right here' smile,
G
And it would've felt like,
D A
A million little shining stars had just
D
aligned,
G D A
And I would've been so happy.
G
Christmas lights glisten,
D
I've got my eye on the door,
A D
Just waiting for you to walk in,
G
But the time is ticking,
D
People ask me how I've been
A D
As I comb back through my memory,
G D A
How you said you'd be here,
G D A
You said you'd be here.
Chorus
G
D
And it was like slow motion,
A Asus
Standing there in my party dress,
G D
In red lipstick,
A Asus
With no one to impress,
G D
And they're all laughing,
A Asus
As I'm looking around the room,
G D
But there was one thing missing,
A
[Asus]
And that was the moment I knew.
G D Asus D A //
Verse 2
And the hours pass by,
Now I just wanna be alone,
But your close friends always seem to know
When there's something really wrong,
So they follow me down the hall,
And there in the bathroom,
I try not to fall apart,
And the sinking feeling starts,
As I say hopelessly,
"He said he'd be here."
Chorus 2
And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they're all laughing,
And asking me about
you,
But there was one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.
Bridge
G
What do you say
D
When tears are streaming down your face
A Asus
In front of everyone you know?
G
And what do you do when the one
D
Who means the most to you
A
Is the one who didn't show?
G D Asus D A ///
[You should've been here.
G D A
And I would've been
so happy.]
Chorus 3
And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress,
In red lipstick,
With no one to impress,
And they're all
standing around me singing
"Happy birthday,
you",
But there's one thing missing,
And that was the moment I knew.
[same chords still]
Ooh, I knew.
Refrain
G
You call me later,
D
And said, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it,"
A
And I said, "I'm sorry too,"
G D
And that was the moment I knew.
A….

taken with the iPhone
There's this annual fair..
What happens is that, plenty of vendors from towns in the Rio Grande Do Sul state,
travel to Lajeado for this event
[called the Expovale]
and sell their wares.
One would imagine farmers back in the medieval days,
with their homemade jars of honey and Christmas cookies,
and juices that are actually freshly made.
Yeah, it's exactly the same - minus the cattle and costumes,
plus LCD screens and modern day clothes.
And of course,
who could forget the carnival rides that could potentially kill a person?
Yeah, I love those.
[They never come to Singapore anymore because it was ruled too dangerous.]
[I reckon]
Anyway,
that's what you see in the above picture.
Pretty neat, huh?
Yeah, till I found out a ride cost $5 each.
Not in US dollars, thank God - but still suicidal.
Are they that pricey in the US too?
Tell me, because it's a dream of mine to attend a carnival or fair in America.
Speaking of which,
you gotta check this out.
A beaut, isn't she? Or he?
38% alcohol,
made from 6 year old wood.
[Never knew that was possible]
And no.. It's not for me.
Still makes a lovely picture, doesn't it?
So yeah.
Ok, on to the next thing.
thank you www.savingcountrymusic.com for the picture
RED was just released!
Yay!
If you haven't bought the album on iTunes yet,
you can do so here
[and be one of the 2. something million others who did!]
Which brings me to,
Hello!
Have you seen the previous posts yet?
That's right.
Since everyone is doing a mad scramble to figure out chords,
do covers and whatnot,
why shouldn't I join in the race?
So we've got I Almost Do and Stay Stay Stay.
AND. One more - which I've not matched lyric to chord yet,
but if you're an eager beaver, here are the chords.
The Moment I Knew - Capo 5,
Instrumental: G D Asus D A
Chorus/Bridge: G D A Asus
You're welcome.
[Note: Whilst checking through the post, I realised that you only get The Moment I Knew and 2 other songs, plus three acoustic versions of songs from the main album if you buy the Deluxe version. I strongly encourage you to get it, because the songs are good enough.]
So I'll log off now.
Continue practising your guitar awesomez skillz,
and I'll see you soon!
Btw,
if you didn't know..
Freddie and Brandon of freddiew on Youtube,
will be coming out with VGHS season 2.
YAY.
They'll be opening their Kickstarter soon,
and I'll need to get the details..
But it's about donating to help them with the budget.
Please think about it, if you loved the first season!
Now, for some alone time with Unco Chin.
Al-right.
Stay Stay Stay [Capo 5]
Editor note: At the end, she sings a lot of ‘stay’s. Er.. DIY add-in, okay. Lol

Verse 1
A B
I bet this time of night you’re still up
I bet you’re tired from a long, hard week

I bet you’re sitting in your chair by

the window, looking out at the city
A
And I bet sometimes you wonder
B
about me
Chorus
A C#m B
And I just want to
tell you
A C#m B
It takes everything in me not to call you

And I wish I could
run to you
C#m
And I hope you know that
A C#m
Every time I don’t,
B A B //
I almost do, I almost do
Verse 2
I bet you think I either moved on or hate you
‘Cause each time you reach out there’s no reply
I bet it never, ever occurred to you that I can’t say hello
to you
And risk another goodbye
Chorus
Bridge
C#m
We made quite a mess, babe
A B
It’s probably better off this way
C#m
And I confess, babe

That in my dreams you’re touching
C#m
my face
B C#m B
And asking me if I want to try again
A B
with you
And I almost do

sometimes you wonder
about me]
